Spaced Is Supposed To Be Good, Comes Out On DVD July 22

The BBC Channel 4 comedy Spaced created by Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who later went on to make the films Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, is being released on DVD in the United States on July 22. It's never been distributed in the US before, so it remains a bit of a cult classic, but those who've seen it (Not me. Yet. I would, but I haven't. Don't be mad) agree that it's hilarious. In preparation for this cult exciting news, here is the first episode of Spaced, in its entirety. This is 24 minutes long, so only press play if you mean it. And if you're Lindsay, who never listens to me, Patton Oswalt likes it, too.

You should check it out now before someone destroys develops it for American TV.

This is the best news in the history of the universe. My DVD bootlegs were getting SO worn out. I really hope the US series (which no one from the UK series has anything to do with) gets lost in production hell.

Twas a Channel 4 show, not BBC. Unfortunately the Beeb still think Catherine Tate is the cutting edge of comedy.
